The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol 
(SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, 
click Enable and click the Apply button. After successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve 
the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server 
other than those in the list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP 
server for you to use. 

Daylight Saving is also known as Summer Time Period. Many places in the world  adapt it during 
summer time to move one hour of daylight from morning to the evening in local standard time.    Check 
Automatic box to auto set your local time.   

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the 
router’s time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the load 
on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute 
minimum every few hours or even days.
